Healthy
Kids is a new low-cost health insurance program for middle- to
low-income Tulare County children ages 0-5, regardless of their
immigration status.
Healthy Kids provides three types of health insurance: |
Monthly Premium: Depending on family income, Healthy Kids premiums can range from $7 to $15 per child per month.
Maximum: The most a family will pay ranges from $14 to $45 per month, no matter how many children are insured.
Save: You can save money by paying in advance. For example, if you pay three months ahead, the fourth month will be free.
Problems:
If you have trouble paying your monthly premium, call 1-800-283-9323.
You can get help and apply to have your premium paid for you. |
